Arkansas Waters

White River:

The water is dirty with one to two generators running. Trout are fair on Power Bait. Drift fishing is excellent. Fly-fishing has been good.

Bull Shoals tailwater:

No report is available

North Fork River:

No report is available

Lake Norfolk:

With the recent runoff, the creeks are stained and the stripers, bass and crappie are spawning or are in pre-spawn and are biting.

Beaver tailwaters:

Midge fishing early and late in the day is working, as are scud patterns.

Kings River:

No report is available.

Buffalo River:

Look for water temperatures over 55 degrees. Carefully check the water level before entering Crooked Creek or the Buffalo River. There are no dams on these streams. They both have large drainages and are prone to flooding during and following any rain event.
